| Thai kids are the cutest! |
Hey everyone! I have pictures this week!
The King's flower
is the marigold, so this whole country has been covered in them! It's so
pretty!
Last Tuesday we
had a Zone Conference with Elder Evans (he gave a talk last priesthood session,
look it up). He came and gave us some really good training that I feel
was really inspired. He pretty much called us to repentance to focus on what is
most important - strengthening the church and the members here, and from that
springs baptism along the way. I love it because this week, after following
this council I already feel like a better representative of Jesus Christ, and
I'm not in people's face's, annoying them as much. It's an adjustment, but
there are promised blessings, so it will be good!
So, Mary.... She's
an LA that makes me laugh. She came to church with her little puppy in her
purse and follows the elders around. Haha poor Elders.
I had a tender
experience in RS yesterday. The lesson was on missionary work. The elderly
Sister teaching the lesson at one point brought up that missionary work isn't
easy. Then she asked me directly "Sister, are you comfortable? Is
missionary work comfortable?" I replied, "Well, no. It's hard." "Then
why are you smiling? See everyone, she's smiling." and I replied in simple
Thai, "Because the gospel gives me happiness" and then the room kind
of went silent, and my eyes started to well with tears. She said: "That
right Sister." Another elderly lady behind me put her hand on my shoulder,
and I patted her hand. I am so grateful for that tender experience. I
love the old Thai ladies in the ward!
I love Thailand
and The Gospel, and the people!
Read the scriptures!
They are true!
Love,
Sister Peterson
